THE ADELAIDE

MBA PROGRAM

Why should you do an MBA at Adelaide?

The MBA provides a broadly based education for students as managers,

rather than just the acquisition of an off-the-shelf set of skills. The aim is to

develop problem solving and communication skills, leadership and team

building skills, and analytical and critical abilities that will enable you to

understand better and deal with the complex issues of management in a

rapidly changing business environment.

The MBA program emphasises the development of abilities to:

Master leadership skills.

Understand the functional interrelationships between different areas of

an organisation and the broader interaction of the organisation with

its environment

Recognise and act effectively on problems and opportunities confronting

an organisation

Coordinate and apply an organisations financial, physical, technological

and human resources in pursuit of important objectives

Understand and communicate effectively with people inside and outsidean organisation

Evaluate current management policies and practices to develop new

ways to improve organisational effectiveness.

Students in the program come from a wide variety of disciplines,

professional backgrounds and cultures, many with high standing from

undergraduate areas. The School seeks to provide them with a solid

grounding in academic disciplines relevant to management. Students will

acquire the conceptual and analytical abilities they need to make and carry

out decisions at a senior managerial level.

While the 12 course MBA program suits the needs of many, some students

seek a deeper level of knowledge. The MBA (Advanced) program provides

opportunities for these students, including:

Those seeking a wider range of knowledge, which is needed for the

highest levels of organisational leadership.

Those seeking to specialise in one particular area, by undertaking

four electives.

Those seeking to undertake further study as part of a life long learning

process, and wishing to gain accreditation for this.

It is possible for students enrolled in the 12 course MBA to progress into

the 16 course MBA (Advanced), as both programs have a common core.

MBA PROGRAM 2010 3


6/14

Flexibility

The diagram below provides an explanation of

the four programs and the articulation between

them. There are four entry and four exit points.

Study completed in one program can be

counted towards the next level program.

For example, you may enrol in the Graduate

Certificate in Management and proceed

through to the Graduate Diploma, MBA or

MBA (Adv) with credit for courses completed.

Conversely, provided you meet the entry

requirements, you may choose to enrol in the

highest qualification, the MBA (Adv) and then

exit with a lesser qualification such as the

Graduate Diploma of Business Administration.

You decide how many courses you enrol in

each trimester and, provided you complete

your selected program within the maximum

completion time, you may suspend your

studies for a trimester to cope with work or

other commitments.

Fast-track

Each course (subject) is delivered over a

twelve week trimester. There are 3 trimesters

in a year. This allows you to condense your

studies into a shorter period of time. For

example, undertaking the MBA in a full-time

mode would require only one year to complete.

To view the current timetable, visit:

www.business.adelaide.edu.au

Study modes and time commitment

All programs can be studied part-time or full-

time. Program structures are fl exible and allow

students to choose a study pattern that suits

the competing demands of work, family and

other commitments.

Study load

A part-time study load is typically one or two

courses each trimester and a full-time load

is three or four courses each trimester. It is

recommended that parttime students enrol in

one course in their first trimester of study in

order to determine the workload.

The total contact time for most courses is 36

hours (3 hours per week), excluding the open

book examination. In addition, students will

be required to spend extra time on private

study and group work. It is estimated that

most students will spend 8 hours per week per

course in reading, assignments, preparation

and/or group work.

10/14

FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP

Fundamentals of Leadership is

the first course for all programs.

Upon completion, students will

possess an understanding of the

development of management

thought and practice, providing

a background against which

new trends in management can

be viewed. They will be able to

identify and discuss the major

challenges facing management

in todays environment and

develop the understanding and

communication skills required to

effectively lead and manage a

diverse workforce.

ACCOUNTING FOR MANAGERS

Participants in this course will

develop the essential ability of

all managers, to use complex

accounting information as a

platform for decision-making.

The course develops skills in

interpreting earnings statements,

balance sheets and cash flow

reports. In the second phase of

the course students will take away

highly relevant skills in areas such

as budgeting, product and service

costing and short-run decision-making.

MARKETING MANAGEMENT

Marketing lies at the core of all

business. Whatever the character

or size of your entity, its profit can

come from only one place: the

marketplace. All businesses are

dependent on the income they

earn from their customers, clients

or buyers. In most businesses

it is Marketing Managers who

are primarily responsible for

keeping their company close

to its customers. All those who

have a direct responsibility

for identifying, reaching and

satisfying customers are engaged

in marketing and everybody in a

business needs to understand its

marketplace activities. This courseoffers a complete introduction to

professional marketing thought

and action.

ECONOMICS FOR MANAGEMENT

This course provides an

introduction to economic thinking

and its relevance and application

to managing organisations. The

first part of the course deals

with the structure of markets,

including perfect competition,monopoly and oligopoly, and

the competitive regulatory

environment. The second part

deals with the determinants of

the aggregate level of output and

employment, and elements in the

determination of macroeconomic

policy including interest rates,

inflation and foreign trade and

capital fl ows. The focus of the

course is on current issues and

their implications for managers

and competitive organisations.

MANAGING CONTEMPORARY

ORGANISATIONS

This course exposes students

to some key influences and

perspectives on the management

of organisations. Its focus is

primarily on human issues that

affect and are dealt with by

managers day-to-day. The course

is an extension of Fundamentals

of Leadership and provides

the background and theoreticalframework for more advanced

studies in business management.

The course begins by examining

the nature of organisation as

an open system. Then the

management challenge in relation

to various facets of organisation

is reviewed learning, motivation,

politics, performance, ethics,culture, innovation, decision-

making, structure and change.

MANAGERIAL FINANCE

Initially this course will cover

the concepts of valuation in

finance and show how they

can be applied to valuing

corporate securities. Adopting a

value creation perspective, the

course will then consider capital

expenditure decision approachesand their application to a range of

situations, as well as evaluation

of the results. Then, risk is

considered, with a risk-return

model developed that can be

applied in managing for value

creation. The course examines the

concept of the weighted average

cost of capital, before turning to

consider corporate financing and

capital structure decisions.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

This course presents a unified

way of thinking about the

issues of strategic thinking and

the management of change.

Strategic thinking involves

searching for a favourable and

sustainable competitive position

in an attractive industry; while

the management of change,

from a strategic perspective, is

concerned with innovation and the

transformation of resources and

skills into strategic capabilitiesthat provide the bases for

sustainable advantages. Strategic

Management is important

because it can help focus the

firm in terms of the customer. It

identifies a direction for the firm

and enables a clear articulation of

the path chosen.

GLOBAL BUSINESS

Global business examines those

business activities which involve

trade or investment across national

boundaries. These activities

typically relate directly to the

movement of exports or imports

plus support activities such as

transport, credit, marketing,

payment, legal and insurance

services. They may also includeactivities relating to the intangible

assets of the firm, such as

trademarks, patents, and the

licensing of brand names or

product and manufacturing

technology. Dealing with these

matters requires a working

knowledge of the worlds

international trade and monetary

systems. The scope of the global

business course is broad and

it necessarily embraces a host

of cross border issues related

to environment in which every

international business operates.
